I made this hall table for my wife for Christmas. The lumber comes from my own trees that have died and come down on my 3.5 acre lot in southwest Missouri. I cut them into planks using a chainsaw and an "Alaska sawmill" attachment then stack and dry until ready to use. I use my Ryobi 13 inch planer to plane the material to thickness, and my table saw and a jig to straighten the edges. My Ryobi compound miter saw cuts the boards to length and the pieces are sanded and glued and nailed together. The finished project is stained with a Minwax golden oak finish.
